[weller094]

Does it get any lower?

This video went viral on Brasilia

Yikes! Track with no roll bar in the wet. You're brave.

[Carlosv0321]

What are the specs on the tires?

[DriftworksLtd]

@Carlosv0321 They are 195/50/15 Toyo T1Rs

hello. can you tell me how tall you are and if you have problems with your knees and the steeringwheel?

i have a miata too, but the original steering wheel is annoying, that i can't practice drive techniques (like heel and toe) and i think i'm going to buy a new one. maybe a drift steeringwheel, because they come a little closer to your torso.

can you help me :-)?

[DriftworksLtd]

@rxmaster James is about 5'11 I think and he had no issues with the wheel. Fitting an HKB boss and a Nardi steering wheel with a 53mm offset (the 330mm Nardi Deep Corn features 53mm offset, the 350mm version features 80mm offset) means that James could drive comfortably. He had plenty of adjustment left in his seat rail too.

He has now sold the car to another guy who works here who is over 6ft and he has no issues using the same wheel and boss combination. Products available from Driftworks

@DriftworksLtd thanks alot :-)

[robax3r]

where are these coilovers made.... china/UK/us/germany... ?

[DriftworksLtd]

@robax3r They are manufactured in South Korea to our specifications.

[fatwalletboy2]

got to say watched both parts (dont even own an MX5 but have some coilovers to fit) and found them very good and highly informative.

no cliches, no patronising or policital correctness BS, just professional solid advice. well filmed and the background music wasnt intrusive or off putting either. top marks lads, hope to watch your other vids.

IV BEEN LOOKING FOR SUCH A VIDEO FOREVER !!! THX!

[GranTurismo5Races]

mk1 scirocco storm?

[DriftworksLtd]

@GranTurismo5Races I'm afraid not. For full listings of available kits check out the Driftworks shop

[jarrus464]

are these avaliable for any peugeot cars?

[DriftworksLtd]

@jarrus464 At the moment, I'm afraid they are not.

[jarrus464]

@DriftworksLtd Would you happen to know if they plan to in the future?

[foxy1960]

did you have to have the steering / suspension geometry reset after you fitted new springs. if so did you do it yourself or take it for laser alignment , the reason i ask is i am about to do mine but don't have the knowledge to set up wheel alignment. thanks

[tomtheman2]

@foxy1960 Normally when I have lowered cars before it puts everything out, but when I slammed my mx5 on coilovers it drives exactly the same. Doesn't pull and the tyres aren't worn even after 1k miles. I will be getting it tracked soon just to make sure though.

[DriftworksLtd]

@foxy1960 We always recommend getting your geometry checked after changing suspension components.

[thecremeegg]

What steering wheel do you have please?

[DriftworksLtd]

@thecremeegg Its a Nardi Deep Corn 330mm which is available from the Driftworks shop.

[Thezathos]

Thanks for the video! :-)

[TheMctwist174]

At 3:42 when the ride height was raised, did that have an effect on the spring pre-load ?

[Mrsneezy111]

@TheMctwist174 I dont think so. Im pretty sure he just rotated the shock and spring assembly while the pillowball mount and bottom shock mount stayed put so the bottom mount threaded up extending ride height. (Sorry if i didnt explain it well. Im kinda bad with words)

[peugeot086]

hi lads,

i got a busted hsd coilover

do you guys provide a serice to

fix them!?

[DriftworksLtd]

@peugeot086 We can provide a replacement, so if you contact Driftworks via phone or email we can take care of it for you.

[huwbertoo]

been taking off dampers all week in college lol, nice to see some fresh coilys being but on, at least i will know how to fit my own i guess

[DTuneDriverII]

the best settings all depends on what type of driver you are. no one can tell what the best setting for your suspension is. you just gotta play around with it until you feel like it's right for your driving style

[F0ste]

First of all i have to say is nice work.

Second is how we know what are the best's "setting's" for coilovers? The same with the camber,caster and toe how we know the rights ajustments?

cheers
